Yeah, they waffled and the dictionary won. Programmers don't know how to spell Judgment, anyway. Why the hell is there no 'e'? The actual spelling just spells "jug mint".

Judgement is the correct spelling. The e was dropped because Noah Webster said something so frivolous as the first e is superfluous and Americans were apt to take up the new style of dropping letters -- because we all know the American dialect of English is so concise and elegant.

If you propose that Judgment is more proper than Judgement, you might as well propose the following is proper English as well:

lol brb i ned 2 tak a dmp

- Programmer

Edit: Colour me jaded. Truth be told, all these formalities of language irritate the hell out of me. But if you're going to argue one way or the other, might as well get it right.

Well, in this case, the event is probably far enough distant that "right" isn't as clear as you're painting it :).
